Blooming cards - 7 Dots Studio

Happy Monday! Or should I say blooming Monday? Because there's a new challenge as 7 Dots Studio and this time the theme is gardening (link)! There's a bunch of wonderful different takes on the theme at 7 Dots Studio blog as well as instructions on how to participate.

We don't have a garden of our own as we live in an apartment building. There's grassy spots on both side of the building, but no garden to speak of. We do have a balcony, though, but there's nothing in there because of our neighbor underneath (don't ask!). And even though both mine and my husband's parents have summer houses and they have gardens, the theme made me think about blooms first. Those blooms then turned into cards.

Of course when the original inspiration was blooms and flowers, there was no other paper to choose for the base as the poppy patterned one from the Homegrown collection! On top I spread some gesso, then some watercolors and stamping. Finally I finished the cards with some pretty blooms and details from the Homegrown collection. There's tags, stickers and text stickers.
